All the words on this list but one have a special property in common (besides the fact that they are all the same length). Which one does not belong?

BLOT     FROM     SNAG

CALM    GARB     SUNG

DROP     GNUS     TRAP

                SILT

Answer:

 

DROP is the odd one out. All the other words become new ones when their second and third letters are switched:

 

BLOT - BOLT

FROM -FORM

SNAG - SANG, etc.
